About Me

I've journied through many places with many people. Learned so much about so much.

I am a chef in Amsterdam. I used to work in restaurants but they tired me out so I'm now I cater at a tech office with cool clients. I love to cook but I enjoy eating even more! I am of Vietnamese decent and our culture has a very strong emphasis on food so you can say it's in my blood.

My other hobby is mindfulness and practicing yoga. My main practice right now is Yin Yoga as that works best with my schedule and my ability to look into myself. I try to spend a few minutes a day to get in tune with myself and my surroundings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because you meet the most humble and giving people on Couchsurfing. I try to practice a life of less material items and more so on the connections I have with myself and the people I encounter.

Interests

Life is a daring adventure or nothing

  • dancing

Music, Movies, and Books

Books... Right now I'm reading two different books from Jeff Foster: The Way of Rest and The Deepest Acceptance

Music... at the moment I'm really into Ludovico Einaudi. Through many phases of life, I've enjoyed so many different types so it's quite eclectic.

Movies... The Intouchables is one I can name for now with many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a boat in Amsterdam

Teach, Learn, Share

Easy for me to say that it's yoga and food. I would like to cook for you in exchange for letting me stay at your place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time and conversation. If you are the spiritual type as me, we can meditate or engage in great conversations together.

If you love food as much as I do, we can cook together!
